To celebrate the return of one of China’s best-loved seasonal delicacies, and confirm Fairmont Yangcheng Lake’s place as the premium destination to enjoy Hairy Crabs at the source, Fairmont is currently offering an unbeatable ‘Inspiring Autumn’ package, available from September until December 2010 for guests wanting to experience Yangcheng Lake’s five-star delights and famous Hairy Crabs for themselves.
The package includes a one-night stay in a Deluxe Room, buffet breakfast for two at Essence Restaurant and the choice of an elegant Chinese dinner for two, including two famous Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crabs, or one 60-minute Willow Stream Spa treatment, all from RMB 1,799.
The autumn Hairy Crab season also coincides with the first anniversary of Fairmont Yangcheng Lake, Kunshan’s first international five-star luxury hotel. Conveniently placed between Shanghai and Suzhou, the stunning fan-shaped resort has introduced an idyllic destination of pristine waters and striking natural scenery to luxury business and leisure travellers. Located right on the shores of Yangcheng Lake, it has also quickly established itself as the destination for local and international gourmands wanting to savour China’s most prized hairy crabs and other excellent lake specialities.
The delicious Hairy Crab (da zha xie), so known for its hirsute claws, has a short season from September to December. Though typically weighing just 180-250 grams, Hairy Crabs are cherished across Asia for their delicate, succulent meat and bright orange roe.
The most prized Hairy Crabs in the world come from the deep, cold waters of Yangcheng Lake. Hairy Crabs served at Fairmont Yangcheng Lake are specially selected to ensure they are the lake’s finest specimens – juicy, tender and weighing at least 250 grams each. They are farmed according to responsible practices to ensure the population remains strong, as part of Fairmont’s ongoing green initiatives in the area.
